My therapeutic approach is respectful of the unique experience and perspective of every individual.Collaboration is critical in the therapeutic process, and I approach this with empathy, understanding, and insight. Every client I work with deserves to be seen, heard, validated, and understood without judgment. I offer a safe and supportive space for clients to share their thoughts, feelings, experiences, and opinions. No two people are quite the same, which is why I feel it is important to have a flexible and eclectic approach to therapy that integrates modalities that are best suited to each individual. I incorporate elements of art therapy, mindfulness, and relaxation techniques when working with clients, and emphasize the importance of wellness from a whole-person perspective. Whether you are facing past or present difficulties, personal challenges, relationship difficulties, or family challenges, my goal is to help everyone that I work with to navigate these challenges and shift to a more positive direction in their lives. I have experience working with diverse populations including children, adolescents, and adults; and I enjoy working with each age group equally. I am an LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist.
Therapies I have education and experience with include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT),Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Humanistic Therapy,Interpersonal Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET), Family Systems Therapy, The Gottman Method (for couples/spouses), Art Therapy, and Play Therapy.I am currently licensed as an LSW in New Jersey, and I am also working toward my LCSW licensure and Art Therapy licensure.
I am looking forward to working together to help you achieve your therapeutic goals.
